There is no dearth of messaging apps but the way WhatsApp has
captured India's imagination is unprecedented. WhatsApp is about ease of
sending and receiving messages and that alone makes the Facebook owned platform
the most popular app across the globe, especially in India.
Sending a simple text message or an image or a video is as easy
as adding the contact number to the phone's contact, writing the text or
attaching the file and hitting send! But, it is not always that you want to
save a contact. For example, the number of a person who isn't close to you or
someone who you won't message often! Saving their numbers would give them
access to your WhatsApp profile, display picture etc! So, what's the way out?
You can obviously use several third party apps but none of them
would be as secure as WhatsApp. Third party apps can install malware and put
your phones security at risk. Therefore, it is advisable to stay away from such
apps. Actually, WhatsApp already has a feature which allows you to send a
message to a person without saving his/her contact information. Just follow the
below mentioned steps to chat with anyone, without saving their contact
information or using any shady third party application. The method is secure
and it won't compromise your phone or data.
